About Backup, Archive, and Restore

This guide provides basic information about backup and restore procedures for
new users of NetBackup.
Backup, Archive, and Restore is your interface to the NetBackup client software
on your computer. NetBackup lets you back up, archive, and restore files, folders
or directories, and volumes or partitions that reside on your computer.
The computer that needs the backup or restore is the client. The computer that
manages the backup and retrieval of the data is the server.
The Backup, Archive, and Restore interface must be configured to work with your
system. The NetBackup administrator may do that during the installation process.

About backups
A backup copies the selected items to the destination drive and leaves the original
files on the source drive.
When you start a backup operation, the client software on your computer sends
the data to be backed up to the NetBackup server. The server then writes the data
to a storage device.
10 Introduction
About installation and configuration

About archives
An archive copies the selected items to the destination drive and then deletes the
items from the source drive, after they are backed up successfully.
When you start an archive operation, the client software on your computer sends
the data to be backed up to the NetBackup server. The server then writes the data
to a storage device and the original files are deleted from the source drive.

About restores
A restore retrieves the selected items from the backup images on the server and
restores the selected items to your computer.
When you start a restore operation, the client software on your computer requests
the data from the NetBackup server. The server then sends the data to the client
so it can be restored. The backup images remain on the server.

About policies
The NetBackup administrator configures the policies that define the rules that
NetBackup follows when it backs up clients.
The policies include schedules for automatic, unattended backups of the NetBackup
clients (server-directed backups).
Policies also define when you can back up files manually (user-directed backups).
For example, the time range in which you can perform user-directed backups
(your user window) is from 8:00 A.M. to 6:00 P.M.. You cannot back up or archive
at any other time although, you can restore files at any time.

About backup images

NetBackup stores all of the items that are backed up by a single job in a backup
image. When you restore files, you select the items to restore from a backup image
or from multiple backup images.
Backup images can expire after a certain amount of time (configured by the
NetBackup administrator). If a backup image expires, you cannot see or restore
its files.

About installation and configuration

The NetBackup administrator normally installs and configures Backup, Archive,
and Restore. Installation and configuration include the following:
 Introduction 11
About online Help

■ Install and configure the NetBackup client software and the Backup, Archive,
and Restore interface on the computers that are backed up in your computer
environment.
■ Configure the client software to work with the NetBackup servers in your
environment.
If user-directed operations are allowed in your NetBackup environment, you
should not have to configure Backup, Archive, and Restore.
If changes to the configuration are needed, contact your NetBackup administrator.

About online Help

This guide provides the basic procedures for backup, archive, and restore tasks.

About setting up UNIX systems

Before you start to use Backup, Archive, and Restore, make sure that your UNIX
environment is set up properly.
On UNIX, Linux, and Macintosh OS X systems, Backup, Archive, and Restore is a
Java-based, graphical user interface.
The following sections describe how to set up your UNIX environment for Backup,
Archive, and Restore:
See “About setting up your UNIX window manager” on page 13.
See “Setting up for Common Desktop Environment (CDE)” on page 14.
See “Setting up for Motif” on page 14.

About setting up your UNIX window manager

Set your window manager so that windows become active only when you click
inside the windows.
Do not enable auto focus, which causes windows to become active if you move the
mouse pointer over them. The NetBackup Java interface does not run properly
with auto focus enabled.
14 Getting Started
About setting up UNIX systems

Other interfaces for UNIX

NetBackup provides additional interfaces for UNIX systems.
You can perform user-directed operations with the following interfaces. However,
Symantec recommends that you use the Backup, Archive, and Restore interface
for user-directed operations.

Menu User Interface (MUI) You can use this interface on any terminal that can connect
to a client system. The bp command starts the menu
interface program.

For information about how to use the MUI, refer to the bp

man page and the Help in the interface.

Command-line interface (CLI) Commands let you perform backup, archive, restore
operations from a shell prompt.

For command information, see NetBackup Commands

Reference Guide.

Setting up for Common Desktop Environment (CDE)

For NetBackup Java applications, a CDE window manager is preferred.
Use the following procedure to set up a CDE window manager.
To configure a CDE for Backup, Archive, and Restore
1 On the front panel in the CDE window, click the Style Manager icon.
2 On the Style Manager toolbar, click the Window icon.
3 In the Style Manager - Window dialog box, click on Click In Window To Make
Active.
4 Click OK.
5 When a prompt appears to Restart the Workspace Manager, click OK.

Setting up for Motif

To use the Motif window manager, follow this procedure:
To set up for Motif
◆ Set the Mwm*keyboardFocusPolicy X resource as follows:

Mwm*keyboardFocusPolicy:explicit

About starting Backup, Archive, and Restore

About starting Backup, Archive, and Restore

You can start and run Backup, Archive, and Restore in the following ways:

On a UNIX NetBackup client See “Starting Backup, Archive, and Restore on

UNIX” on page 15.

On a UNIX NetBackup client from a See “Running a NetBackup-Java interface on

Windows computer Windows” on page 16.

On a Windows NetBackup client See “Starting Backup, Archive, and Restore on

Windows” on page 16.

For a description of the Backup, Archive, and Restore interface and directions
about how to use it, see the online Help.

Starting Backup, Archive, and Restore on UNIX

You can use Backup, Archive, and Restore to log into a NetBackup client on a UNIX
system where you have a user account. From Backup, Archive, and Restore you
can perform back ups, archives, and restores on that client.

Backup, Archive, and Restore icons

Running a NetBackup-Java interface on Windows

If the Java Windows Administration Console is installed on a Microsoft Windows
system, you can run the Java Backup, Archive, and Restore interface on it. This
interface lets you log into a NetBackup UNIX or Linux client to perform
user-directed operations on that client.
You must use the Java Windows Administration Console to log on to a UNIX or a
Linux system. You cannot use it to log on to a Windows system.
To start the Java Windows Administration Console

or restore.
You must have a valid user account on that client and have access to that
client.
3 Enter your user name and your password.
4 Click Login.

Backing up or archiving
This chapter includes the following topics:

■ Backing up or archiving files and directories

Backing up or archiving files and directories

A backup copies items to another drive or a storage device. The original files
remain on the source drive.
An archive also copies items to another drive or a storage device. When the backup
is finished and successful, the original files are deleted from the source drive.
You can back up or archive the following items:

UNIX and ■ Files

Linux ■ Directories
■ Partitions

Windows ■ Files
■ Folders
■ Volumes
■ Registry keys
■ System State components
■ System Service components
■ EFI System partition (IA64 systems only)
■ Shadow Copy components
Note: On IA64 systems, Shadow Copy backups include System State
components and the EFI System partition automatically. If you back
up System State components only, you must also select the EFI System
partition for a successful backup.
